“…In common, with other literature, our participants spoke of a certain inner confidence and acceptance that comes with age (Baker & Gringart, ; Öberg & Tornstam, ). In common with the work of Bullington () and Hogan and Warren (), our study suggests that some people experience ageing as a time of freedom, of liberation from the pressure to conform to cultural norms, to be themselves.…”

Understanding people's experience of skin ageing as it is lived can enable sensitive approaches to promoting healthy skin and to care in general. By understanding the insider perspective, what it is like for individuals, a way to sensitise practice for more humanly sensitive care is offered. Through interviews with seventeen community-dwelling older people, the essential meaning of living within ageing skin was illuminated as a state of managed inevitability. The skin is inevitably changing, and ageing skin is a marker of change over time but the person within remains. Constituents of the phenomenon comprise the experience of unfamiliar sights and sensations given by ageing skin; facing and accepting bodily changes and seeing this back and forth in family connections; taking care of the skin "to face" the world; and to present oneself to others and a different place in the world, same person, changed body. Findings point to why and how nurses can treat older people as persons by not over emphasising a view on ageing bodies or bodies with aged skin alone, but in tempering this view with deeper existential insights, meeting the older person with a skin care need as a person and not just as a physical entity.

“…Specific competences like EI are fundamental for a healthier psychological, social and physical life functioning at all ages, especially in ageing, where older people must cope with different physical, social and personal challenges related to the ageing process. 31,32 The results provided by different studies are discussed in the present review. They suggest a functional importance for studying EI in older adults, and a need to address this line of research more thoroughly.…”

Euskampus, University of the Basque Country, SpainCorrespondence: Cristina Maritnez-Taboada, Psicología social y metodología de las ciencias del comportamiento, University of the Basque Country, Spain, Email cristinamtk@gmail.com Nerea Galdona Erquicia, Research and development, Matia Instituto Gerontologico, Spain, Email nerea.galdona@matiafundazioa.eus AbstractNowadays ageing in a healthy way is one of the greatest challenges of our era. There are several factors associated with the emotional functioning of an individual which are necessary for managing and regulating emotional life, such as perceiving and understanding emotions and being able to regulate them. Such abilities are well encompassed by the Emotional Intelligence (EI) construct. An impressive body of literature indicates that EI has a significant influence on psychological, social and physical health. However, to date, such evidence cannot be extended accurately to the older population as the vast majority of studies have been focused on samples composed of adolescents and young adults. Therefore the aim of the current review is to analyze what extent is linked to psychosocial and physical functioning among older people.

“…Engagement with visual arts and museum/gallery-based community research with young people, and working-age adults, older adults and those with dementia have all demonstrated benefits (Alcock, Camic, & Barker, 2011; Camic, 2008, 2010; Roberts & Camic, 2011; Solway, Camic, Thomson, & Chatterjee, 2015; Solway, Thomson, Camic, & Chatterjee, 2015; Young, Camic, & Tischler, 2015). Research with new mothers and older women has also explored life transitions and wellbeing though arts engagement (Hogan, 2015b; Hogan, Baker, Cornish, McCloskey, & Watts, 2015; Hogan & Warren, 2012, 2013). These studies often work with expanded definitions of health and wellbeing that encompass a range of personal and social benefits.…”

An account is provided of a UK national seminar series on Arts, Health and Wellbeing funded by the Economic and Social Research Council during 2012–13. Four seminars were organised addressing current issues and challenges facing the field. Details of the programme and its outputs are available online. A central concern of the seminar programme was to provide a foundation for creating a UK national network for researchers in the field to help promote evidence-based policy and practice. With funding from Lankelly Chase Foundation, and the support of the Royal Society for Public Health, a Special interest Group for Arts, Health and Wellbeing was launched in 2015.
